I think the second article you link is correct, but maybe small buyers like steam railways are being squeezed.
For me, the joy of a steam engine is sufficient to mandate all railways in the UK to run on steam, be that oil or coal or even wood. Contra Mundum Press on "More Headaches and the Universe"Contra Mundum Presshttp://contramundum.net/tag:rfjseddon.net,2012:pessoas-philosophical-essays-forthcoming/1354274947/1932012-12-03T20:54:53+00:00There is an updated description of the book now available on our site. Actually, none of the essays were written in Portuguese and, as you guessed, it is an entirely English edition, as are the original essays. The texts were painstakingly transcribed by the editor, Nuno Ribeiro, from the original manuscripts.
The volume should appear this month.

But I am not sure if it is very wise to try to change Northampton’s mind with financial or capacity arguments. Do we want to sink so low?
Also, it’s a slippery slope. Philosophy departments might get cut exactly BECAUSE they are cheap to teach. Universities in England want to charge the new maximum tuition fees allowed, 9,000 £ per year, from as many students as possible. Students who have to take on that much debt are more likely to opt for courses that yield some financial return, like law or economics (which are also not much more expensive to teach).R.F.J.
